"Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express — verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner — the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern." - André Breton
In the absence of thought... on instinct. The area which I feel I need most improvement is to shoot on sight. I find I spend too much energy thinking (or over-thinking) when on the street. Shooting film may have something to do with this. However I do feel I might be improving as I start trusting my instinct. It is probably the most difficult thing for me to overcome!!
